Chapter 718: Chapter 296: [Scarlet Sacrifice] (6k)
"Mind series ability...
I can’t believe I accidentally got caught too! Abnormal object-level mind ability is really troublesome!"
Recalling the existence of that ninth Great Demon, corresponding information started to emerge from my memory, as if forgotten memories were piling up again.
At this point, how could she not see the essence of this ability?
But realizing it now is already too late. The sky curtain has been lifted; they might have fled long ago.
Moreover, even before the sky curtain was lifted, a big hole had been blasted in it, and before that happened, she had already ignored that Great Demon, so those who could run had already run away.
Thinking back, she didn’t even have a deep impression of this Great Demon’s appearance. If it weren’t for the Fungus Blanket, which remembers everything and allows her to mobilize her memory at any time, she might not even know what this Great Demon looks like.
"But now we can’t catch them back, and with such an ability, I’m afraid we won’t find them even if we try.
We can only hope for a chance encounter, or after completely conquering this world in the future, use the Fungus Blanket to gradually search; otherwise, with such an ability, it’s really impossible to find if it wants to hide."
She herself also has some similar mind series abilities, and she is well aware of how troublesome it would be if her guess about this Great Demon’s ability is true.
Moreover, this is not just any ability but an abnormal object ability with an unattainable priority.
Letting an enemy escape made her feel that the gains of this time are no longer as pleasant as they originally were, but the commotion just now was indeed not small, very likely to attract others.
Currently, both humans and demons have quite a lot of high-level combat power left, and she cannot expose herself now. Once detected, losing her current identity would make it much more difficult to continue her original plan.
Glancing at the already chaotic battlefield, Bai Yi activated her superpower, and the destroyed vegetation around rapidly grew back to its original state, followed by a sweeping wave of pitch-black magic power.
This is the energy control ability she possesses, shared from You, although at a lower rank, only at Tier Six level, but enough to clean up traces from the magic side.
"The battle here must have already been noticed by someone, just not clear on what exactly happened.
And after such a round of cleanup, it’s a bit too clean here, with some suspicion of covering tracks, but at least this way, no one can detect the specific situation here, and they can’t find me."
Of course, a better disguise could be possible, but now someone might come at any time, and she couldn’t risk being discovered by setting up slowly.
After a final round of checks, finding no obvious clues, Bai Yi teleported away with the abnormal object and Ju.
And just as she teleported, the Space Ability activated again, swiftly outlining two figures.
"Still arrived too late."
The slender figure clad in a luxurious mage robe spoke in a sullen tone, evidently displeased for not arriving in time.
"Hey, old Magga, you can’t blame me for this.
After all, it was a teleportation across half the continent, I’ve already done my best."
Next to the slender figure was a young man also clad in a robe.
However, the robe he wore wasn’t as lavish as the mage robe beside him, just simple white with starry gold threads as embellishment, adding a hint of sanctity.
Almost as soon as the words fell, the young man immediately justified himself, his tone helpless, while the slender old man beside him was the Empire’s Emperor, the Great Mage Magga.
However, at this moment, Magga had no intention of pursuing it further, his face showing barely contained excitement.
"The one here just now must have been a higher-level being taking action!
Who on earth managed to break through that tier limit!
Moreover, they actually cleared the battle traces here so cleanly, leaving hardly any useful remnants..."
After carefully inspecting the vicinity, Magga quickly confirmed this fact, his excitement turning into regret, and then he sharply turned to the young man beside him, his gaze intense.
Being stared at like this, the young man also started to feel uneasy but understood what Magga wanted, helplessly protesting:
"I know, I know!
But you also know if this is truly a stronger being, we must be prepared for the possibility of not obtaining any information.
Besides, the items consumed to trace back history are not cheap, our church isn’t as wealthy as your household, you must reimburse!"
Though the young man said this with a face full of heartache, his actions did not delay at all.
Quickly grabbing a few materials from the air, he set up an altar in front of him.
"O you who are older than the ancient ones, [Eternal], embodiment of history, witness of time...
Well, anyway, these are all offerings I’ve sacrificed to you!
Please present to us the history of this place!"
The young man chanted in what seemed like careless, almost blasphemous prayer words to outsiders, yet these seemingly absurd prayers actually produced an effect.
Under some influence of rules, the magic power spread around only to return again, presenting a very blurry scene upon the altar.
In the scene, only two enormous silhouettes were visible, with a streak of red suddenly appearing in the sky, then pitch-black enveloping everything.
But even with such a simple scene, the young man seemed grievously injured, immediately withering away.
The scene disappeared without a trace, the original offerings nowhere to be found, leaving Magga still in deep thought over the earlier blurry vision.
